Luka 19
1 Ɛda bi a na Yesu retwam wɔ Yeriko no,
UJesu wangena eJerikho kodwa esedlula.
2 ɔhunuu ɔbarima bi wɔ hɔ a wɔfrɛ no Sakeo. Na Sakeo yɛ ɔtogyeni panin sane yɛ osikani nso.
Kwakulendoda eyayithiwa nguZakhewu; wayeyinduna yabathelisi njalo enothile.
3 Ɛberɛ a Yesu retwam no, Sakeo pɛɛ sɛ anka ɔhunu no, nanso ɛsiane sɛ na ɔyɛ onipa tiawa na wɔn a wɔdi Yesu akyi no dɔɔso enti, wanhunu no.
Wayefuna ukubona uJesu ukuthi wayengumuntu onjani, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi wayengumuntu omfitshane, wehluleka ngenxa yesiminyeminye.
4 Esiane sɛ na Sakeo nim sɛ Yesu bɛfa nnyedua bi a na ɛsisi hɔ no ase enti, ɔyɛɛ ntɛm kɔforoo saa nnyedua no mu baako.
Wasegijimela phambili, wakhwela phezu komkhiwa wesikhamore ukuze ambone njengoba uJesu wayesiza ngaleyondlela.
5 Ɛberɛ a Yesu duruu nnyedua no ase no, ɔmaa nʼani so hunuu no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sakeo, yɛ ntɛm na si fam, na wo fie na ɛnnɛ mɛtena.”
Kwathi uJesu esefikile kuleyondawo, wakhangela phezulu wathi kuye, “Zakhewu, yehla masinyane. Ngizakwethekelela endlini yakho lamuhla.”
6 Sakeo yɛɛ ntɛm sii fam de anigyeɛ gyee no fɛ so.
Wasesehla uZakhewu masinyane wamamukela ngokuthokoza.
7 Nnipa a wɔdi Yesu akyi no hunuu yei no, wɔnwiinwii kaa sɛ, “Ɔdebɔneyɛfoɔ yi na wakɔ akɔsoɛ no.”
Bonke abantu bakubona lokhu bangunguna besithi, “Useyekuba yisethekeli sesoni.”
8 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no renwiinwii no, Sakeo bɛgyinaa Yesu nkyɛn kaa sɛ, “Awurade, ɛnnɛ, mede mʼahodeɛ mu fa kyɛ ahiafoɔ, na sɛ masisi obi wɔ biribi mu a, mɛtua mmɔho nan ama no.”
Kodwa uZakhewu wasukuma wathi eNkosini, “Khangela, Nkosi! Okwamanje senginika ingxenye yenotho yami kwabampofu njalo nxa ngike ngadlelezela omunye umuntu loba ngakuphi, ngizambhadala ngokuphindwe kane lokho engakuthathayo.”
9 Yesu ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ na nkwagyeɛ aba efie yi mu, ɛfiri sɛ, yei nso yɛ Abraham ba.
UJesu wasesithi kuye, “Lamuhla insindiso isifikile kulindlu ngoba indoda le layo iyindodana ka-Abhrahama.
10 Na Onipa Ba no baeɛ sɛ ɔrebɛhwehwɛ wɔn a wɔayera na wagye wɔn nkwa.”
Ngoba iNdodana yoMuntu yalanda ukudinga lokusindisa lokho okwakulahlekile.”
11 Ɛberɛ a Yesu ne nnipa no rebɛn Yerusalem no, ɔsane buu wɔn bɛ foforɔ de kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, Onyankopɔn Ahennie no abɛn.
Bathi besalalele lokhu, wabatshela omunye umzekeliso, ngoba wayesesondele eJerusalema, abantu sebecabanga ukuthi umbuso kaNkulunkulu wawusuzahle uvele masinyane.
12 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɔdehyeɛ bi a watu kwan akɔ akyirikyiri asase bi so sane kɔɔ ne kurom kɔhunuu nʼabusua mu mpanimfoɔ sɛ wɔnsi no ɔhene.
Wathi, “Indoda ethile yasesikhosini ngokuzalwa yaya elizweni elikhatshana isiyagcotshwa ukuba yinkosi andubana iphenduke.
13 Ansa na ɔrebɛfiri nʼakwantuo no ase no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ mu edu maa wɔn mu biara minaedu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Momfa sika yi nyɛ adwuma kɔsi sɛ mɛba.’
Yasibiza izinceku zayo ezilitshumi yazinika imali engamamina alitshumi. Yathi, ‘Isebenziseni imali le ngize ngiphenduke.’
14 “Kurom hɔfoɔ no tee nʼahennie no ho asɛm no, wɔtuu nnipa kɔhunuu mpanimfoɔ no sɛ wɔmpɛ no.
Kodwa labobantu ayezababusa babemzonda lumuntu, bathumela izithunywa ukuthi zimlandele ziyekuthi, ‘Kasimfuni lumuntu ukuthi abe yinkosi yethu.’
15 “Nanso, wɔsii no ɔhene ma ɔsane kɔɔ baabi a na ɔyɛ adwuma no. Ɔduruiɛ no, ɔfrɛɛ nʼadwumayɛfoɔ edu no sɛ, wɔmmɛbu sika a ɔde maa wɔn no ho nkonta nkyerɛ no.
Lanxa kunjalo wagcotshwa waba yinkosi, waphenduka ekhaya. Wasebiza izinceku lezo ayezinike imali ukuze ezwe ukuthi zazithole nzuzo bani ngayo.
16 “Odwumayɛfoɔ a ɔdii ɛkan baeɛ no bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, wo sika mina edu no, mede ayɛ adwuma anya ho mmɔho edu.’
Owokuqala weza wathi, ‘Nkosi, imali yakho isizele amanye amadola alitshumi.’
17 “Owura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mo, akoa pa, ɛsiane sɛ woadi kakraa a mede hyɛɛ wo nsa no ho nokorɛ enti, mede nkuro edu bɛhyɛ wʼase na woadi so.’
Inkosi yayo yathi, ‘Wenze kuhle, nceku yami elungileyo! Ngenxa yokuthi uthembekile entweni encinyane, usuzabusa amadolobho alitshumi.’
18 “Odwumayɛfoɔ a ɔtɔ so mmienu no baeɛ bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Me wura, wo sika mina edu no, mede ayɛ adwuma anya ho mmɔho enum.’
Owesibili weza wathi, ‘Nkosi, imali yakho isizele amanye amadola amahlanu.’
19 “Owura no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, ‘Mede nkuro enum bɛhyɛ wʼase na woadi so.’
Inkosi yayo yaphendula yathi, ‘Busa phezu kwamadolobho amahlanu.’
20 “Ɔfoforɔ nso bɛkaa sɛ, ‘Me wura wo sika mina edu a wode maa me no, mede sieeɛ, ɛno nie.
Kwasekusiza enye inceku yathi, ‘Nkosi, nansi imali yakho; bengiyigoqele ngelembu.
21 Na mesuro wo, ɛfiri sɛ, wo ho yɛ nwanwa. Deɛ ɛnyɛ wo dea no, wogye; deɛ wunnuaeɛ nso, wotwa.’
Bengikwesaba wena ngoba uyindoda elukhuni. Ucupha lapho ongathelanga khona njalo ubuye uvune lapho ongahlanyelanga khona.’
22 “Ne wura no buaa no sɛ, ‘Akoa bɔne, wo anom asɛm so na megyina abu wo atɛn. Wonim sɛ me ho yɛ nwanwa. Deɛ ɛnyɛ me dea no megye; deɛ mennuaeɛ no, metwa.
Inkosi yayo yaphendula yathi, ‘Ngizakwahlulela ngamazwi akho wena nceku exhwalileyo! Angithi ubukwazi ukuthi ngingumuntu olukhuni, ocupha lapho angathelanga khona lovuna lapho angahlanyelanga khona?
23 Adɛn enti na woamfa me sika no ankɔto sikakorabea? Anka mebaeɛ yi mɛnya ho nsiho.’
Kungani pho ungabekanga imali yami ebhanga ukuze kuthi ekubuyeni kwami ngiyithathe isilenzuzo na?’
24 “Ɔka kyerɛɛ nʼasomfoɔ a na wɔgyina hɔ no sɛ ‘Monnye sika no mfiri ne nsam mfa mma deɛ ɔde ne deɛ yɛɛ adwuma nyaa mmɔho edu no.’
Yasisithi kwababemi khonapho, ‘Mthatheleni lelo alalo liliphe lowo olalitshumi.’
25 “Asomfoɔ no kaa sɛ, ‘Yɛn wura, sɛ yei deɛ ɔwɔ sika bebree!’
Basebesithi, ‘Nkosi, angithi uvele uselalitshumi?’
26 “Owura no kaa sɛ, ‘Merema mo ate aseɛ sɛ, deɛ ɔwɔ bebree no, wɔbɛma no bi aka ho, na deɛ ɔwɔ kakra bi no, deɛ ɔwɔ mpo no, wɔbɛgye afiri ne nsam.
Yaphendula yathi, ‘Ngithi kini, lowo olakho uzaphiwa okunye okunengi kodwa lowo ongelalutho, lalokho alakho uzakwemukwa.
27 Na afei, momfa mʼatamfoɔ a anka wɔmpɛ sɛ medi adeɛ no mmra mʼanim ha na monkum wɔn!’”
Kodwa izitha zami lezo ebezingafuni ukuthi ngizibuse, ziletheni lapha lizibulalele phambi kwami.’”
28 Yesu kaa nsɛm yi wieeɛ no, ɔdii nʼasuafoɔ no ɛkan kɔɔ Yerusalem.
UJesu esezitshilo zonke lezizinto wahamba wabandulela eqonda eJerusalema.
29 Ɔrebɛn Betfage ne Betania a ɛbɛn Ngo Bepɔ so no, ɔsomaa nʼasuafoɔ no mu baanu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
Wathi esebanga eBhethifage kanye leBhethani entabeni eyayithiwa yiNtaba yama-Oliva wathuma abafundi bakhe ababili wathi kubo:
30 “Monkɔ akuraa a ɛbɛn ha no ase na moduru hɔ a, mobɛhunu afunumu ba bi a obiara ntenaa ne so da sɛ wɔasa no. Monsane no mfa no mmrɛ me.
“Yanini emzini ophambi kwenu, lizakuthi lingena kuwo libone inkonyane kababhemi ibotshelwe khonapho, engakaze igadwe muntu. ‘Ikhululeni liyilethe lapha.
31 Sɛ obi bisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na moresane no’ a, monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Ne ho hia Awurade.’”
Nxa kungaba lozalibuza ukuthi, Liyikhululelani na?’ kumele lithi, ‘INkosi iyayifuna.’”
32 Asuafoɔ baanu a wɔkɔeɛ no kɔhunuu aboa no sɛ ɔsa hɔ sɛdeɛ Yesu kaeɛ no.
Labo ababethunyiwe bahamba njalo bathola kunjengoba ebetshilo.
33 Ɛberɛ a wɔresane afunumu ba no, ne wuranom bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moresane aboa no?”
Besayikhulula inkonyane kababhemi, abanini bayo bababuza bathi, “Liyikhululelani na?”
34 Wɔbuaa wɔn sɛ, “Ne ho hia Awurade.”
Baphendula bathi, “INkosi iyayifuna.”
35 Asuafoɔ no de afunumu ba no brɛɛ Yesu de wɔn ntoma sesɛɛ ne so ma ɔtenaa ne so.
Bayiletha kuJesu, baphosela amajazi abo phezu kwenkonyane, bagadisa uJesu phezu kwayo.
36 Yesu te afunumu ba no so rekɔ no, nnipa de wɔn ntoma sesɛɛ ɛkwan no so ma ɔfaa so.
Wathi eseqhubeka, abantu bendlala amajazi abo endleleni.
37 Ɔduruu Ngo Bepɔ no so baabi a wɔrebɛsiane akɔ Yerusalem no, nʼakyidifoɔ no nyinaa de osebɔ kamfoo Onyankopɔn, yii no ayɛ wɔ Yesu anwanwadeɛ ahodoɔ a wayɛ no ho sɛ,
Esefikile eduze kwalapho indlela eyehla khona isuka eNtabeni yama-Oliva abafundi lexuku lonke lasuka ngokuthokoza ladumisa uNkulunkulu ngamazwi amakhulu ngenxa yemimangaliso yonke ababeyibonile, bathi:
38 “Nhyira nka ɔhene a ɔreba Awurade din mu no!” “Asomdwoeɛ ne animuonyam nka Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsorosoro nohoa!”
“Ibusisiwe inkosi ebuya ngebizo likaThixo!” “Ukuthula ezulwini lodumo kweliphezulu!”
39 Farisifoɔ no bi a na wɔfra nnipakuo no mu no ka kyerɛɛ Yesu sɛ, “Ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ, kasa kyerɛ wʼakyidifoɔ no na wɔmmua wɔn ano!”
Abanye abaFarisi exukwini bathi kuJesu, “Mfundisi, khuza abafundi bakho!”
40 Yesu buaa wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ wɔmua wɔn ano koraa a, aboɔ mpo bɛkamfo me, ayi me ayɛ.”
Waphendula wathi, “Ngiyalitshela ngithi nxa bethula amatshe azamemeza.”
41 Yesu rebɛn Yerusalem a ɔhunuu kuro no no, ɔsu maa emu nnipa no sɛ,
Wathi esebanga eJerusalema ekhangele idolobho, walikhalela
42 “Mo a anka asomdwoeɛ yɛ mo dea nanso moampɛ no, mobɛhwehwɛ asomdwoeɛ akyiri kwan, nanso mo nsa renka da!
wathi, “Nxa wena, wena ngokwakho, ubukwazi namhla lokho obekungakulethela ukuthula kodwa okwamanje kufihliwe emehlweni akho.
43 Nna bi bɛba a mo atamfoɔ bɛba abɛtoa mo, aka mo ahyɛ,
Zizafika insuku kuwe lapho izitha zakho zizakwakha umthangala zikuhonqolozele njalo zikuphahle inxa zonke.
44 atɔre mo ne mo mma ase, asɛe mo kuro yi pasaa, ɛfiri sɛ, moapo adom a Onyankopɔn de adom mo no.”
Zizakusakazela phansi emhlabathini, wena kanye labantwana abaphakathi kwemiduli yakho. Kaziyikutshiya lalinye ilitshe phezu kwelinye ngoba kawusinanzelelanga isikhathi sokuza kukaNkulunkulu kuwe.”
45 Yesu duruu Yerusalem no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔpamoo nnipa a na wɔredi edwa wɔ hɔ no kaa sɛ,
Wasengena ethempelini wadudula ababethengisa khona
46 “Wɔatwerɛ sɛ, ‘Mʼasɔredan yɛ mpaeɛbɔbea; nanso mode ayɛ akorɔmfoɔ ahyiaeɛ!’”
esithi kubo, “Kubhaliwe ukuthi, ‘Indlu yami iyindlu yokukhuleka,’kodwa lina seliyenze ubhalu lwabaphangi.”
47 Saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na asɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ, Atwerɛsɛm no akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ ne ɔman no mu mpanimfoɔ rehwehwɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so anya no, akyere no, akum no.
Insuku zonke wayefundisa ethempelini. Kodwa abaphristi abakhulu labafundisi bomthetho kanye labakhokheli ababephakathi kwabantu babezama ukumbulala.
48 Nanso, na wɔnhunu ɛkwan biara a wɔbɛfa so akyere no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ nyinaa na nnipa akyere ne so retie no.
Kodwa kabayizuzanga indlela yokukwenza lokho ngoba abantu bonke babewakholwa amazwi akhe.
